I have a rather eclectic collection of guns (people keep asking me "where do you ever find these things!"). For pen-raised poultry at the local preserve I shoot a number of guns everything from a 36 guage percussion sxs and .410 sxs hammer gun to a 10 gauge 1878 Colt sxs hammer gun. For serious pheasant hunting my go to gun is a 16 gauge French sxs guild gun. I shoot it well and it only weighs 5 lbs 1 ounce (no sore arms and shoulders the next day). I've corrupted (influenced) my 26 year old son to the point where he switched from a Remington 870 pump to 12 gauge Nitro Special.

BTW I loved KY Jon's answer. If it were only meat the only gun I'd need would be the afore mentioned Remington 870.

Since everyone likes pictures, here's one of my 36 guage percussion sxs taken with its first victim.


I know I know, I need to get some new pictures to put up.
